this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:16.740
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:24.500
get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in
00:00:29.940
georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:34.380
misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is
00:00:38.660
the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground
00:00:47.480
it's friday 31 march in the year of our lord 2023 it is the uh final uh day of the first quarter
00:00:57.960
of this historic year and what a year it's been so far um we've got a lot to get through
00:01:03.460
in the last uh hour of our show for this quarter um by the way don't um miss tomorrow morning it's
00:01:10.660
going to be absolutely fantastic saturday show it's going to be on fire i want to go first to
00:01:15.640
ben harnwell ben uh from i i want first off the reaction you're in rome give us the reaction of
00:01:22.820
the european capitals and european media on this uh what i mean what can i say outrageous uh use
00:01:31.120
essentially use of of legal force to indict president trump sir
00:01:35.940
hi steve well um if denver wants to start um playing through some of the uh the clippings
00:01:44.660
i sent through earlier it's just basically the lead article on the times the telegraph the ft
00:01:51.960
um is all to do with the indictment it's dominating the european coverage the best headline i saw was
00:01:59.960
actually in um the european conservative which said today is the day that america becomes russia
00:02:07.580
and if you think about it the whole shtick about the the the russian war the the the all-in support
00:02:13.760
of ukraine was to defend our values against that horrible vladimir putin this is what um rebecca
00:02:20.380
koffler was saying earlier but you know what we're doing here it's it's the same thing steve it's exactly
00:02:26.160
the same thing and the the dividing line between uh the rule of law and equality before the law and the
00:02:33.880
presumption of innocence it's becoming ever more blurred by the the sociopathic overlords who are
00:02:40.960
now so invested in stopping the the possibility of a second trump mandate and that's the the basically
00:02:49.040
the european coverage uh obviously it's a bit of a rorschach test if you didn't like trump before
00:02:55.320
then you're going to be delighted with um with the uh the the the perp walk um that's going to thrill
00:03:03.160
you if you were supportive of of trump you'll think oh my god america is becoming a third world
00:03:08.560
country and of course that is reflected as well in the um in the in the european press
00:03:14.300
have they made the direct connection between his rising popularity i mean the rejection of the
00:03:22.020
american people a big majority of them even people that are independents and some democrats
00:03:26.720
about this in the unity it's bringing to the republican party to do the particularly the haters in the
00:03:32.680
the times of london uh the financial times the papers in france germany do they are they making
00:03:39.780
that connection yes they are steve but um i haven't seen any yes they are yes they absolutely are
00:03:47.100
i haven't seen anyone say um in the terms that and this is this is my view that what this indictment
00:03:55.760
will do is basically an absolute rerun of the impeachment it's it's amazing how the democrats
00:04:00.920
really haven't learned anything from the impeachment hoax but the the most the most uh structural thing
00:04:08.520
that the uh that the impeachment did immediately was force the gop to line itself up behind donald trump
00:04:17.340
i mean you remember steve there there were divisions in in in the republican party back at the
00:04:22.460
time of the impeachment the moment that impeachment process started all internal dissent uh within the
00:04:30.140
the republican party ended from one moment to the next and this indictment is going to have exactly
00:04:35.900
the same thing only right now it will have consequences on the uh on the selection process
00:04:41.880
as well now there is some of that in in the press yes um i'm waiting for someone to see to come
00:04:48.320
forward and say actually this is very counterproductive from the democrat point of view
00:04:53.760
um has any that i i got to move on from this to other topics but i just want to have any of the
00:05:02.340
prominent figures in the populist nationalist movement so far come out to support trump has le pen
00:05:07.380
maloney maloney nigel what are we seeing from the the leaders in uh of the populist nationalist
00:05:13.480
movement in europe so far yeah nigel farage has absolutely come forward and spoken in favor of
00:05:19.740
trump and against this political indictment very clearly i haven't seen anything from marine le pen
00:05:24.760
but i think she's pretty engaged in france right now um her her stock is rising vis-a-vis the uh the
00:05:32.460
macron pension reforms um if she's put out a statement i haven't seen that yet um let me ask you about
00:05:41.780
this headline in the uh in the financial times today china warns europe not to follow u.s demands
00:05:48.100
for trade curves with beijing there's a huge meeting in in uh in beijing next week or in china might be
00:05:54.880
in shanghai uh with the head of the european union and macron bad time for him to be leaving the country
00:05:59.540
to go over as supplicants to the ccp what is the general the the does the the heads of europe which i went
00:06:06.720
over there in 18 and 19 and spent a lot of time talking to people and trying to convince them
00:06:11.040
about the the problems with china as a uh the reality of china as an enemy and some people got
00:06:16.780
it like the guy that writes policy sonar and other leaders particularly behind closed doors but there
00:06:22.040
were very few at the time prepared to step forward uh tell me do they understand the dire circumstances
00:06:27.900
the world is in today with this uh the chinese communist party that that at least from outward
00:06:33.140
perceptions appears to be on the rise uh yes and no um the um ursula von derlein came out with a
00:06:41.320
statement a couple of days ago uh indicating that china was trying to design for itself a new world
00:06:47.620
order with china itself at the center and that the european union must play a part in resisting that
00:06:53.520
but you get the impression looking at these people that there's basically words um they've seen the
00:06:59.420
united states how they've really bipartisan support now in opposing china um which there hasn't been
00:07:05.820
i don't know on on an issue for quite some time and the european union sort of thinks well you know
00:07:11.040
we've got to go through the motions as well um but you get the sense that their heart isn't quite in it
00:07:16.940
and of course you know you get the idea that it's just simply words rather than really substance
00:07:22.200
because what what are all these people doing if not tying china ever more closely in to their
00:07:28.640
massive energy provider potential energy provider to china because china has its own energy issues which
00:07:35.720
is russia um that has been the consequence of the last year and there's no stop there's no hesitation
00:07:41.880
there's no perhaps you know perhaps geopolitically strategically we ought not be pushing these two
00:07:47.260
countries together perhaps we should try and pull russia back within within the european sphere of
00:07:52.980
influence um there's none of that um so you know when they're sort of on the one hand saying well you
00:07:58.380
know china is and it is absolutely is setting itself up to the center of a new world order but what we're
00:08:05.260
doing is that you know looking at brazil looking at saudi arabia looking at india um by the way i'll just
00:08:11.720
flag up brazil it's very interesting to see now because you will see that that the white house is very
00:08:16.780
supportive of lula in the election campaign and couldn't have done more to discourage bolsonaro
00:08:21.340
well interestingly the first major policy positions that the new president of brazil is doing has been
00:08:28.420
to abandon the united states quite in a humiliating fashion and throw its lot in with um with china and
00:08:35.500
russia i'll also flag up steve the fact that um as i discussed with natalie on the show yesterday the
00:08:41.920
three countries they had a vote in in the un um security council on the to have an inquiry a formal
00:08:49.560
investigation into the nordstrom uh pipeline sabotage the three countries to vote for that the rest of
00:08:56.200
the countries abstained the three countries that voted for that were china and russia obviously and
00:09:02.140
brazil again so what what what the european union's doing what the western powers nato are doing is
00:09:07.880
they're pushing um russia and china ever more closely together and now of course jumping on the bandwagon
00:09:14.880
saying oh no china must be resisting but as i say it's words not substance
00:09:21.020
uh because her words were were probably the the first time any leader has come up and said that so
00:09:28.460
it's pretty startling uh last thing before we got to bounce um the austrian freedom party i know that's
00:09:34.060
the right wing of austria stood up in mass zelinski's talk uh to that parliament and left
00:09:40.640
is that resonated through europe is that just looked at as an isolated event among uh among right wingers
00:09:46.560
the only i don't know if denver can throw this this article up the only reference i saw to this steve
00:09:53.800
but it's a really important development i think psychologically is in the bbc i've not seen any other
00:09:58.500
reference to that in any of the international press 30 uh fpo members the freedom party stood up and
00:10:05.960
left in the middle of zelinski's uh televised address to the austrian parliament and they did so because
00:10:12.260
they said they couldn't support um they couldn't support what zelinski was saying specifically because
00:10:18.380
they felt that it damaged and threatened austria's neutrality um i think that um three months ago
00:10:26.360
this would have been unthinkable um now uh that the fpo are very popular um in austria they're
00:10:33.600
becoming more popular uh as time goes on i think you know what they're doing here is they're realizing
00:10:39.140
that the appetite in austria has has now swung away from this war and as it is doing for the right
00:10:45.660
across the world to be honest with you the interest has diminished i think i think the window is now
00:10:51.560
closing and zelinski really needs if he wants to to to act in ukraine's interest he really needs to
00:10:58.600
to get the western powers in the the peace table and help him negotiate for the best deal with russia
00:11:04.660
because if he doesn't take the moment now that that window will close and putin will dictate the terms
00:11:09.740
you've said that for a long time sir um ben how do people get to you on uh how do people get to
00:11:17.680
you on social media thanks steve it's getter that's my platform of choice and it's simply
00:11:23.380
my surname harnwell at harnwell um and that's where i am i i you know i have been saying that by the way
00:11:30.580
steve for quite some time and this is you know if you look at bakhmut and that city it's all that is
00:11:36.720
stopping russia from coming in and surrounding ukraine surrounding excuse me kiev once that happens
00:11:44.220
right once that happens if that happens that is the moment when uh zelinski's negotiating hand will
00:11:51.160
be extremely weakened so he really needs to you know the western powers they haven't totally pulled
00:11:57.220
out and abandoned him yet but they are starting to move away he needs to to act now major chef as you
00:12:05.020

00:12:09.160

out can i play one play the ron desantis clip for a second before i bring on joe allen john's got a
00:13:45.080
clip too let's play the ron desantis clip i want to talk about this for a second think you know ron
00:13:49.840
desantis think again in congress desantis voted three separate times to cut social security that's
00:13:57.460
right three times over three years worse desantis voted to cut medicare two times desantis even voted
00:14:05.580
to raise the retirement age to 70. the more you learn about desantis the more you see he doesn't share
00:14:11.760
our values he's just not ready to be president make america great again inc is responsible for the
00:14:19.840
we have to see how we have to see how all the indictment situation is going to play a governor
00:14:24.500
santa did come out and say hey i'm not going to be involved in any extradition i'm not going to extradite
00:14:28.680
trump uh from florida on my watch whether that's constitutional or not i'm not a lawyer people have to
00:14:34.540
argue that out but that was showing he did he did come out and show that he had president trump's back
00:14:39.520
after being quite frankly weak uh a couple of weeks ago the but this issue right here gets to the
00:14:44.800
debt ceiling you're seeing a lot of republicans start to get jiggy oh we can't put forward a budget like
00:14:49.200
they said they're going to do because there's some are saying oh we have to have cuts to social
00:14:53.560
security medicare that's just not true you can get to a balanced budget and cutting discretionary
00:14:57.740
spending but you have to add the defense budget look i've been a hawk all my life and right now i'm
00:15:03.580
as you know i'm the leader or one of the leaders in the super hawks uh to take down the chinese
00:15:08.640
communist party but we have to get our own financial house in order what i like about what president trump
00:15:13.960
has been doing i think you where you've gotten this spread up until this indictment which i think
00:15:17.820
is even going to be a bigger spread is president trump's putting these videos out about policy
00:15:22.500
one of the policies he's talking about he would not cut medicare and social security you've got to get
00:15:26.660
to a balanced budget without doing those cuts and that is achievable governor de santa is now his
00:15:31.880
record when he was more of a libertarian and in this first couple years in the house particularly as
00:15:36.240
an acolyte of paul run is now coming up scrutiny we're going to be dealing a lot with this
00:15:40.200
but look the indictment is the indictment we're obviously going to be focusing very much on that
00:15:44.380
that's as i keep saying so the win reap the whirlwind for the uh for the elites uh and uh and and so
00:15:51.700
right now we're going to be covering all of it one of the things we got to focus is really uh ronda
00:15:56.700
santa's policy positions as a neoliberal uh neocon okay uh joe allen has a joe allen has a um
00:16:03.780
joe allen has a uh has a colo let's go ahead and play it one thousand of the world's smartest
00:16:10.480
people are saying that ai imposed profound risks to society and humanity they want you guys to
00:16:17.760
regulate it will you they're talking about the letter that was released yesterday so uh look
00:16:22.620
it highlights a number a number of challenges addressed directly uh in uh in the administration's
00:16:27.700
blueprint there's an expert from the machine intelligence research institute who says that if
00:16:32.540
there is not an indefinite pause on ai development this is a quote literally everyone on earth will die
00:16:46.040
your delivery peter is quite it's quite something it sounds crazy but is it all i can say is that
00:16:55.440
there's a comprehensive process in place we put out a blueprint back in october as you know i don't
00:17:00.780
have anything to share uh we have seen the letter we understand what their concerns are uh again a
00:17:07.440
comprehensive process we're going to let that we'll let that flow i i do not think it is possible to
00:17:12.000
understand the full depth of the problem that we are inside without understanding the the problem of
00:17:17.580
facing something that's actually smarter not a malfunctioning recommendation system not something
00:17:22.360
that isn't fundamentally smarter than you but is like trying to steer you in a direction yet
00:17:26.200
no like if we if we solve the the weak stuff this the if we solve the weak ass problems the strong
00:17:32.100
problems will still kill us is the thing and i think that to understand the situation that we're
00:17:36.000
in you want to like tackle the conceptually difficult part head on and like not be like well we can like
00:17:42.680
imagine this easier thing because when you imagine the easier things you have not confronted the full
00:17:46.140
depth of the problem people understand the power gap of time they understand that today we have
00:17:53.960
technology that was not around 1000 years ago and that this is a big power gap and that it is
00:17:59.060
bigger than okay so like what does smart mean what when you ask somebody to imagine something that's
00:18:06.260
more intelligent what does that word mean to them given the cultural associations that that person brings
00:18:13.060
to that word for a lot of people they will think of like well it sounds like a super chess player that went
00:18:19.720
to double college because we're talking about the definitions of words here that doesn't necessarily
00:18:24.620
mean that they're wrong it means that the word is not communicating what i wanted to communicate
00:18:28.860
the the thing i want to communicate is the sort of difference that separates humans from chimpanzees
00:18:35.100
but that gap is so large that you like ask people to be like well human chimpanzee go another step
00:18:43.060
along that interval of around the same length and people's minds just go blank like how do you even do
00:18:47.720
that the problem is that we do not get 50 years to try and try again and observe that we were wrong
00:18:53.420
and come up with a different theory and realize that the entire thing is going to be like way more
00:18:56.860
difficult than realized at the start because the first time you fail at aligning something much
00:19:01.960
smarter than you are you die okay uh welcome back uh today's headline in the in the financial times of
00:19:10.840
london ai's existence excuse me ai's existential threat to humanity now why is this paper one of
00:19:18.840
the most powerful papers in the world uh it's one of the most powerful papers in the world because it
00:19:24.120
gets to important topics but it looks like it it looks at it from the financial capital markets
00:19:30.100
perspective and it always prides itself in being very stayed not hair on fire when the when they have an
00:19:38.100
article like that artificial intelligence existential threat to humanity that is a five alarm fire in
00:19:45.260
the global capital markets and you saw that right there and this is why joe allen's so brilliant
00:19:50.020
that that peter ducey's very legitimate question was met with guffaws by the other reporters there and
00:19:58.040
kind of the smirk and the shake the head and non-response of zen master jean pierre uh was that a silly
00:20:05.360
question uh joe allen or is that a question that should have been asked and they should have had
00:20:09.860
an answer for her not even have an answer shows you in the inter in the inner circle the white house
00:20:15.920
it's not on the list of things that's got to be research and answer i can tell you how those press
00:20:19.540
conferences go or those press briefings every day the things are important to research with volumes
00:20:24.800
of talking points and from the agencies she she was just that that was just a blow-off response was it
00:20:30.440
not sir absolutely and i think she wouldn't know how to respond uh most people don't know how to
00:20:38.200
respond i honestly don't know how to respond and i spend every day of my life on this um you know you
00:20:46.280
have jean pierre basically just repeating that this uh white house blueprint exists um you know i've gone
00:20:54.480
over the blueprint it's it's all the the standard things you'd expect to see in a government document
00:21:00.480
like that but but but but yeah but hang but yeah i know but hang over the blueprint and what they
00:21:05.840
talked about under this is they included also under the cancer moonshot was all a lie because we know
00:21:12.680
that was all transhumanism and driving us the reason i want to put this headline up again is that
00:21:17.980
brother under 100 days ago at davos when chat gpt was introduced to davos man the elites of the world
00:21:26.220
not to the people in east palestine ohio it was all high fives in a new era of uh a seven trillion
00:21:32.420
dollar business and and a a you know ten trillion dollars in equity value and we're all going to make
00:21:37.760
a fortune this is great they fell all over themselves all the other issues related to the world even
00:21:43.080
zelinski having no one was chat we're just or the ccp you know new currency the global south all these
00:21:49.200
major geostrategic issue was swept to the side by the bonanza that chat gpt offered within 100 days
00:21:56.940
the financial times of london has a lead story on its front page saying is this an existential threat
00:22:03.280
to humanity it's just the speed we're still within the first 100 days of its kind of coming out party
00:22:09.500
brother yeah you know and steve really the financial times is about uh you know 10 to 20
00:22:16.060
years behind this this conversation uh so you think of it as a spectrum on one side of the spectrum are
00:22:23.220
those people who think that ai doesn't exist uh it's not it's nothing to fear because it really
00:22:28.500
isn't something at all and then on the other side the ai uh artificial general intelligence uh
00:22:35.580
particularly a super intelligent ai is right around the corner and will destroy everyone that
00:22:41.900
would be our guy eliezer yudkowski right so and there's all these different positions in between
00:22:48.820
and right now all of those positions are jockeying for a voice in this argument uh you know the guy that
00:22:55.920
we just heard eliezer yudkowski the day that that open letter was published from the future of life
00:23:03.080
institute that night he published an article in time magazine uh that argued that this moratorium that
00:23:10.880
the open letter is calling for six month moratorium on any artificial intelligence system being trained
00:23:17.120
above the level of dpt4 he argues that that's not nearly enough yudkowski and that basically the only
00:23:25.760
proper response is to halt all large-scale ai training to shut down all of the large gpu clusters
00:23:35.260
which gpus are just the hardware used to train ai uh and then to form international agreements so that
00:23:43.640
every nation stops now and he goes so far as to say that if there are any rogue data centers that have
00:23:50.480
been identified by intelligence agencies airstrike should be on the table even if they're on foreign
00:23:56.940
soil to stop it that's how far on the ai is going to kill us spectrum good kowski is is that right so
00:24:05.880
then you've got basically the the general public which ranges from you know just totally freaking out
00:24:12.560
uh to they don't even know what is being talked about uh to they don't care they they they kind of
00:24:19.540
know they just simply don't care and i think what we see right now steve is at least three different
00:24:25.960
major pushes one the one from yudkowski and company those who see this as a real risk saying
00:24:32.820
it's time to put a halt to it until we figure out what the hell is going on right and then you've got
00:24:40.720
somewhere in the middle there that you know the kind of bland perspective and i'm i'm just ignoring
00:24:45.140
that for the most part because i think that that bland perspective does miss a lot of the real
00:24:49.480
meat through this argument about existential risk but then you have uh you know the accelerationist
00:24:56.060
side that says that this is maybe something to worry about maybe not but the big issue is
00:25:01.920
competition this is an ai arms race other companies are not going to shut it down elon musk has
00:25:08.160
acknowledged that even though he signed the letter uh other countries are not going to shut it down
00:25:13.120
particularly china and russia and so the only way forward to keep our nation competitive to keep
00:25:20.600
your company competitive to keep your military competitive is to just go straight ahead and train
00:25:27.100
these ais to be as smart as possible i can't predict the future on this but i will say i am absolutely
00:25:32.580
certain that the downsides are going to be massive and everybody agrees on that for the most part that
00:25:38.380
takes it seriously at all and it really has to be taken seriously he warned about this and we warned
00:25:45.840
about this now we're in a jam the jam is what the hobson's the choice you've got is either um
00:25:52.720
either try to shut it down but you can't shut it down because there's an arm race you had these
00:25:57.240
companies are going to continue to but more importantly you've got companies countries that
00:26:01.260
are doing massive experimentation this is an arms race this is an arms race that now as we know
00:26:07.620
biological weapons and nuclear weapons even pale in comparison in comparison to artificial
00:26:13.360
intelligence weaponized and that's what the fear is i want to take a short break because i want to
00:26:18.180
come back and i just want to reiterate the one thing you said about one of the people that understand
00:26:21.980
this the best what they said about the fear is that if you do a moratorium and you find out that
00:26:29.180
countries or companies are not agreeing to the moratorium until you get your arms around it that you
00:26:35.080
should initiate actual airstrikes inside foreign countries to take rogue data centers out you have
00:26:42.840
now people that have worked with artificial intelligence know it quite well saying hey it's
00:26:46.640
that serious if people will not go along with some embargo with then go along with some treaty that you
00:26:51.980
should initiate first strike capability to take it out short commercial break joe allen and i think
00:26:57.940
we're gonna track down lara logan is going to join us in the next half hour to finish up the quarter here

okay joe allen our own joe allen is is with us joe uh there's two things i want to say is people got
00:32:03.140
to keep in mind we're still within the hundred days this is rolled out to the general public when i say
00:32:08.800
general public the investing public with obviously what i call davos man at davos the very elite
00:32:13.540
gathering where they went gaga within a hundred days we have experts in this field a thousand
00:32:19.100
are putting out a warning we need a six-month moratorium which they know is almost impossible
00:32:23.640
to get a six-month moratorium at a minimum you had our arms around us and it should be no new release
00:32:28.720
of any new product in addition i want you to go back one of the experts is saying that we should
00:32:34.260
have a moratorium in any company or country with rogue data centers that do not agree to it that
00:32:41.020
we find out is still pressing forward with the accelerationist um artificial intelligence should
00:32:46.300
we should use a first strike capability missile strike to take it out joe allen my point i'm trying
00:32:52.140
to say is that this has been worked on from some of the biggest companies forever google uh facebook
00:32:59.340
clearly didn't see the potential of this they were doing metaverse google was doing other things
00:33:04.060
they're bringing their founders back they're firing thousands of people or tens of thousands of
00:33:07.800
people to focus on exactly this this is the biggest shift in anything in the post-industrial era
00:33:14.660
bigger than the internet bigger than all of it as far as company resources being put on it and already
00:33:20.140
you're hearing a sober voice is saying we have no earthy idea what we're doing here and the closer
00:33:26.760
we get to artificial general intelligence this is going to be a existential threat to mankind joe allen
00:33:34.060
yeah steve i think that uh the reason you see such a huge outcry right now from those who are all
00:33:41.440
again dodkowski has been on this for 20 some odd years is that the capabilities of gpt4 really did
00:33:50.240
stun everybody it wasn't everything it was cracked up to be but everything from the testing scores right
00:33:57.920
when it was testing in gre verbal or in the the biology biology olympiads or the bar it just these
00:34:05.540
are just uh you know observable objective metrics that you can see this sort of human-like intelligence
00:34:11.680
in that sphere there was there's also these semi-generalist sort of tendencies or abilities right
00:34:18.800
so it's able to uh look at an image and interpret it into text right or uh there's a few other elements
00:34:25.340
that are somewhat generalist without going into all the detail another thing too just the the size of
00:34:31.080
the model itself right not only the the data that it was trained on uh but the number of parameters
00:34:37.240
within the models like 10 times more than what you had in gpt 3.5 and so it's just this sort of if you
00:34:45.120
imagine a brain an artificial brain that is 10 times bigger than what everyone was freaking out about
00:34:50.960
100 days ago that's what you're dealing with and the worry on the part of guys like gidkowski or
00:34:57.780
someone like nick bostrom or elon musk the worry is that this system will just simply be it will improve
00:35:05.840
in its own sphere but you will have all of these other systems uh now that you have this sort of proof
00:35:12.180
of concept you have all these other systems that will be able to scale up to that size knowing that
00:35:17.040
it's possible and we're talking about everything from weapon systems to systems that uh that are
00:35:22.480
specified for biology and that is the danger that these extremist sort of existential risk thinkers are
00:35:30.740
pointing out right the if you have a super intelligence is what they they describe this as whether it's narrow
00:35:38.200
or general the three major existential risks to humanity are that it is in control of or has access
00:35:48.160
to major like a critical infrastructure that human lives depend on could be airplanes could be hospitals
00:35:56.680
could be an electrical grid could be any number of those things or it has access to or control of
00:36:03.440
weapon systems or it has access and control of bio lab and then additionally all it would really need
00:36:12.960
a rogue artificial intelligence all it would really need is the goal to harm humanity somewhere in its coding
00:36:20.120
and access to human minds who have access to those critical critical infrastructures and manipulate human
00:36:28.000
human beings into causing dramatic harm to other human beings so what we're talking about it sounds sci-fi
00:36:35.600
and i'm myself i'm quite skeptical of a lot of these very specific scenarios but what you're talking about
00:36:40.960
is a massive artificial intelligence system whose goals are not aligned with humanity and at the extreme end
00:36:48.480
whose goals include the destruction of some part of or all of humanity and some people would say okay that's
00:36:55.200
something to worry about in 50 years but guys like eliezer yudkowsky founder of the singularity institute
00:37:02.160
now known as the machine intelligence research institute the guy is a transhumanist he wants
00:37:07.520
all of these sorts of wild radical technologies he warns that it's not a matter of 50 years it's not
00:37:14.280
necessarily even a matter of 10 years he warns that if any of these huge systems were to take off outside
00:37:20.720
of human control there would just be no stopping it and worse by the time it was too late you would it
00:37:27.600
would have been in the works for perhaps months or a year or years it would basically keep this secret
00:37:34.320
again it sounds sci-fi i feel very weird communicating this to a layman audience because it sounds so out
00:37:41.600
there but all you need is a fraction of that kind of problem for it to be a serious issue and so now you
00:37:48.960
have all these calls for government responses the government nobody in the government really has
00:37:52.640
any clue how to deal with these major systems most of the people who work on these systems don't
00:37:57.600
really understand the systems and none of them understand that the the deepest inner workings of
00:38:03.200
the system so you have a situation where either it goes out of control according to the acceleration
00:38:08.880
is paradigm or it's lightly regulated under the kind of existing structures or you get some kind
00:38:16.000
of extreme governmental response like eliezer yudkowsky's calling for and then you just hand
00:38:21.040
the government more power to crack down not only on tech corporations but any private citizens small
00:38:26.880
startup bitcoin uh cryptocurrency operations any of that um so it's it really is a rock in between a
00:38:34.400
rock and a hard place steve and i and i i'm actually at a loss for any sort of kind of sane answer to it
00:38:41.200
other than to say you know buckle up strap in it's going to be very strange in the very in
00:38:46.240
the very near future in the coming years i i told people this is going to be a major element of the
00:38:52.640
2024 campaign not just the technology but the debate over the direction of the technology one last thing
00:38:58.080
as we talk about the singularity in every also every one of these other areas whether it's regenerative
00:39:04.880
robotics whether it's quantum computing whether it's a nanotechnology biotechnology CRISPR you take
00:39:11.040
all the verticals that converge on the on the singularity i guarantee you right now in these
00:39:17.520
different labs there are developments they're working on that may not match exactly the increasing
00:39:24.080
accelerating at an accelerating rate the ai has caught the experts but will be damn close at every
00:39:30.240
weapons lab and every one of these research centers what is happening in these other technologies
00:39:35.280
is a difference in degree but not in kind so when that all comes out to the public you're
00:39:40.720
going to sit there and go well hey why did i didn't know anything about this this is all i
00:39:44.880
think going to come clear over the next year but this is a massive problem that right now governments
00:39:50.720
are not even prepared to to address you can see that part of that was in that executive order
00:39:55.760
that that biden wrote that was a whole of government and really called for a whole of society approach
00:40:00.640
to drive all possibility and put cash and capital in back of a drive on the singularity joe allen uh to
00:40:08.320
wrap up uh tonight in the first quarter this year you've done such an incredible thing the first quarter
00:40:13.040
started with davos i think on the 15th and 16th of january in talking about this releasing it to the
00:40:18.880
public here within a hundred days of that and there are people already calling for hey if if companies or
00:40:24.720
countries don't go along with a moratorium then use first strike missile capability and take them
00:40:29.600
out joe allen you know uh steve i think that right now the us government uh the the current
00:40:37.600
administration cannot be trusted to respond to this so you already have restrict act coming going
00:40:44.880
through uh the senate a lot of people are really really alarmed rightfully so because you had a
00:40:50.720
legitimate problem tick tock as a spy app that's being responded to with legislation that doesn't
00:40:57.280
even mention tick tock or byte dance by name but could possibly restrict the use of vpns it could
00:41:03.840
restrict the freedom of cryptocurrency traders uh and it could be at the extreme end some sort of like
00:41:09.600
patriot act 3.0 right and i think that in response to something as vague and unknown as
00:41:17.280
artificial general intelligence or super intelligence uh that any kind of governmental
00:41:22.320
response is going to be just ham-handed and ridiculous right now italy has just barred any
00:41:29.680
use of chat gpt right i think that i understand obviously the sort of anxiety that would lead to
00:41:35.600
something like that but all that means is that other countries around italy will be using the same
00:41:40.880
sorts of software and they won't be um you know in the case of these extreme sorts of of projections
00:41:49.520
the extreme projection that you will end up with an artificial general intelligence that is not
00:41:55.840
necessarily as rich as a human psyche but is able to outperform humans to lie to humans to to trick humans
00:42:05.120
and possibly gain control of systems to destroy humans it's so abstract it's so unknown that there's
00:42:12.880
really no immediate response other than just simply don't do it but that's not going to happen these
00:42:19.760
tech corporations are going to keep working towards those kinds of systems the militaries around the
00:42:25.280
world are going to keep working towards those kinds of systems because those systems mean worldly power
00:42:31.760
so that's why to me i i think that one way or the other what we're looking at really is a matter of
00:42:37.600
mitigating whatever damage may be coming our way it doesn't have to be the extreme sci-fi scenario
00:42:44.640
all it has to be is something as seemingly trivial but major the large language models are deployed across
00:42:52.960
the internet with just endless chat bots all over twitter facebook uh you know getter wherever and human
00:43:01.040
beings are no longer able to tell whether they're communicating with a human online or a computer
00:43:05.680
online and the kinds of social discord that that could so uh are so astounding and phenomenal as
00:43:13.040
addicted as everyone is to the internet that that alone is something just you know that terrifying to
00:43:19.600
comprehend and is undoubtedly right around the corner if measures are not taken and the measures that are
00:43:25.280
being suggested look like these sort of beast system global identification uh regimen so regimes so
00:43:34.160
you've got sam altman who has a startup that you would basically use your iris scan in order to prove
00:43:42.160
that you are a human in any kind of digital environment and elon musk has his own version everybody has
00:43:47.200
their own version so you're talking about universal global digital identity as the cure
00:43:51.200
joe we got to bounce real quickly how do people get to you you can find me at joebot.xyz warroom.org
00:44:00.080
under the transhumanism tab at getter and twitter at joe b-o-t-x-y-z thank you very much steve and
00:44:08.560
joe we'll probably have you back on tomorrow because i got to drill down some of this is getting to be
00:44:12.720
an emergency status so joe allen our editor on all things transhumanist thank you very much honor to have
00:44:18.400
you on here thank you given what's happened in the country over the last 24 hours i don't think
00:44:25.840
there's a stronger voice that we could have on here to end the first quarter of 2023 a historic
00:44:30.240
year than laura logan uh one of the top investigative reporters in the country laura uh i put up on news
00:44:36.400
newsweek quoted me today on one of my getter chats i said you sow the wind you reap the whirlwind that the
00:44:42.640
american version of the globalist elites have now gone to outright war with the populist national
00:44:48.160
uh movement i know that you have analyzed this you've studied it you've reported on it uh you
00:44:54.480
do interviews all the time give us your assessment we've got about eight minutes i just want to toss
00:44:58.320
the ball to you where do we stand right now in this country ma'am well um this is a clarifying moment
00:45:07.760
right where the part of the veil is lifted and we see people for who they truly are and um you know if
00:45:15.120
you're a person who likes to be on solid ground then uh as much as you can sense the danger in this
00:45:22.160
moment um you also can sense the uh significance and uh for anyone who is not afraid or doesn't want
00:45:31.600
to live in fear this is almost the moment that we've been waiting for you know we've had this sense for
00:45:37.440
a long time now that things are escalating right everything's accelerating one minute it's gay marriage and
00:45:43.440
the next minute i've got to have transgender people in the schools you know teaching kids how to twerk and
00:45:48.400
doing lap dances and suddenly now my kids are being forced to read book after book about about rape um
00:45:54.160
you know and and this kind of thing and so none of that is normal we all know that right and we knew
00:46:00.800
that we were heading to a breaking point there have been many attempts i believe and most of them unreported
00:46:07.200
to bring us to a breaking point and people have been working very diligently legally and quietly
00:46:14.320
very calmly behind the scenes to prevent uh you know uh sort of false flag attacks and things like
00:46:21.360
that and um and we may never know their names we may never know everything that's been done but there
00:46:27.680
are people who have given everything silently unpaid um people who have worked under the constitution
00:46:34.640
right to protect us and so now what's happened is that the matador is in the ring right we've gone
00:46:41.680
through the first stage of the bull fight right where everybody was bringing out the bulls and the
00:46:46.160
fanfare and uh and and getting the crowd ready and then you you had you know the the uh lower matadors
00:46:54.480
who are in the ring tiring out the bull that's what we've been going through we've been tiring out the
00:46:58.880
the bull with the election fraud and uh russia collusion and all of these things but obviously
00:47:05.120
trump is the matador right and the deep state the people who clearly have demonstrated they do not
00:47:13.040
have the interests of this nation at heart this is not their first priority they're more concerned
00:47:20.720
about uh global sovereignty right they're more concerned about a new world order about opening up the
00:47:27.920
borders and diluting the the number of patriots in this company country you know about um global
00:47:34.800
organizations and global solutions to problems that don't actually exist that they can't even define
00:47:40.240
like climate um they're more interested in that they've shown us where their priorities lie it's more
00:47:46.080
important to biden and those uh behind him to send money to ukraine to fight a war that we all know
00:47:52.720
um is not as depicted rather than to use that money to address what is happening to american citizens at
00:48:01.840
home and i don't typically like those kind of arguments but we're now talking about such a scale
00:48:07.600
right where you're seeing this happen um and and it's you can't deny it anymore because it's right in
00:48:14.320
front of your eyes and if you are in denial about it this is your moment to wake up and seize the
00:48:21.200
opportunity because you can argue that uh trump is unlikable you can argue that you know his
00:48:28.160
personality is abrasive and he's not statesman like and you can make all those kind of arguments i would
00:48:33.600
argue that you're playing right into the hands of people who are trying to distract you if you do um
00:48:40.000
you know if you do pay attention to those arguments because the real test is in the actions of the man
00:48:46.240
not what people say about him and in his actions what we have seen is that he has put america first
00:48:53.120
he drained the swamp with things like uh you know declassifying space force he took uh really he took
00:48:59.840
billions of dollars of dark money and dark money is where you know people in washington get rich
00:49:06.320
right because there's no oversight and he put that into the light overnight and what we got caught up in
00:49:12.320
his arguments in the media about trump said he would you know he would drain the swamp but look
00:49:16.720
at all the you know swamp creatures in his administration all of that was part of the war
00:49:22.640
of information right in a fifth generation warfare where we've been in a war of narratives and now now
00:49:30.320
he's in the ring he's drawing the bull to him and we are going to see a fight to the death because as he
00:49:37.200
said in waco when he spoke i think just last weekend we are in a fight to the death and people can listen
00:49:44.160
to this and they can say oh she's crazy right remember when she used to be at 60 minutes wow
00:49:48.640
she was fantastic then but now she's lost her mind well you know it's kind of uh it's kind of like when
00:49:54.560
people say to you you can believe or not believe in satan right but it's still real and you speak to
00:50:01.200
any satanist and they can tell you very clearly they can demonstrate to you how real it is it's kind of
00:50:06.560
like that now we're in a fight for our survival the real enemies are not democrats versus republicans
00:50:12.720
and left versus right this is a clarifying moment that will truly reveal once and for all who the
00:50:21.360
rhinos are right because if you're a rhino if you're you know if you're an american there's no sitting on
00:50:28.000
the fence in this moment not at all and it's also a moment if you're a democrat that is a defining
00:50:36.240
moment because there are many democrats across this country who know in their hearts that this
00:50:42.400
is wrong now there are people who think i hate trump so much i don't care if it's a political persecution
00:50:48.320
i just want him gone he has to be stopped if you have fallen for that narrative then unfortunately you
00:50:54.720
have been deceived and maybe there are many good people who've been deceived but that is not going to
00:50:59.840
stop the march of time right because we are headed on a path now and uh and you know there's only one
00:51:07.600
winner in a war we one of the false narratives is that you can have these wars that go on forever
00:51:12.000
and nobody ever has to win and then suddenly they become unwinnable well that's a lie because every war
00:51:17.040
isn't winnable it's just a question of what you're prepared to do it's the political will that loses wars or
00:51:23.200
turns them into stalemates it's never the capabilities because we didn't even use 10 percent of our advanced
00:51:29.440
military capability on the battlefields in iraq and afghanistan right we never even did that we chose
00:51:35.520
not to win those wars ultimately and so what you see here is this is a moment where americans
00:51:44.320
who have been very complacent for a very long time who have enjoyed the benefit of the sacrifices made by
00:51:52.000
the founding fathers right and the people who died fighting for this republic they have had the benefits
00:52:00.080
of that and but what did the founding fathers say they asked us not to do what they did they asked
00:52:06.480
they didn't ask for the ultimate sacrifice they asked us to protect it and to fight for it and we
00:52:12.960
thought we could hold on to it without fighting that's what we thought steve why do you think that what
00:52:18.880
